• Special nonprofit license plates are available statewide and cost $30.50 the first year. A Local News story posted yesterday contained incorrect information.

• Members of the Spillner family performed during the halftime of yesterday's Pro Bowl Game. The name was incorrect in one reference in a Sports story posted yesterday.

• The legend with the map with a Local News story posted Sunday showing a proposed emergency access road in Wai'anae was incorrect. The dotted line in the map showed the proposed road, solid lines showed existing roads.
